  • [D] Have their been any attempts to create a programming language specifically for machine learning?
    12 projects | /r/MachineLearning | 11 Feb 2023
    Not really an answer to your question, but there are Python packages that try to solve the problem of tensor shapes that you mentioned, e.g. https://github.com/patrick-kidger/torchtyping or https://github.com/deepmind/tensor_annotations
  • What's New in Python 3.11?
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Jun 2022
    I disagree. I've had a serious attempt at array typing using variadic generics and I'm not impressed. Python's type system has numerous issues... and now they just apply to any "ArrayWithNDimensions" type as well as any "ArrayWith2Dimenensions" type.

    Variadic protocols don't exist; many operations like stacking are inexpressible; the synatx is awful and verbose; etc. etc.

    I've written more about this here as part of my TorchTyping project: [0]

    FWIW I'm the author of torchtyping so happy to answer any questions about that. :) I think people are using it!
  • [D] Ideal deep learning library
    9 projects | /r/MachineLearning | 5 Jan 2022
    The one thing I really *really* wish got more attention was named tensors and the tensor type system. Tensor misalignment errors are a constant source of silently-failing bugs. While 3rd party libraries have attempted to fill this gap, it really needs better native support. In particular it seems like bad form to me for programmers to have to remember the specific alignment and broadcasting rules, and then have to apply them to an often poorly documented order of tensor indices. I'd really like to see something like tsalib's warp operator made part of the main library and generalized to arbitrary function application, like a named-tensor version of fold. But preferably using notation closer to that of torchtyping.
  • [P] torchtyping -- documentation + runtime type checking of tensor shapes (and dtypes, ...)
    2 projects | /r/MachineLearning | 7 Apr 2021
    Yes it does work with numerical literals! It support using integers to specify an absolute size, strings to specify names for dimensions that should all be consistently sized (and optionally also checks named tensors), "..." to indicate batch dimensions, and so on. See the full list here.

    However, I made it faster for my use-case by changing some settings. Neovim allows to have these settings in the setup function for LSP. I was trying to figure out how do I change these settings with doom emacs. Pyright docs suggest to have these settings in pyrightconfig.json.

    You can use pyright instead[0]. It is the FOSS version of pyright, but having some features missing.

    Unfortunately, pyright explicitly stated that they are not interested in inlay hints or other language server features, that those will only be added to pylance. That's why I added it myself instead of submitting a pull request to pyright. See https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/issues/4325
